Ascents in Mortein Wall

I was waiting for the villagers to toss rotten fruit at me on the walk up the approach gully - "Shame!". Greasy day but holds were ok. By the time I finally found my beta I was too gassed to go again. Next time.

x2 warm-up laps. Add a grade when damp.

Varied and fun, other than the mozzies which were out in force.

Went the wrong way at top.

Hard 19-20 grade start, then eases up

I had no trouble with this one, but came off the 18s. I think it's more technical climb, hence the grade, but I found it easier to read and it was a nice flowing consistency of moves.

Hard for the grade but excellent climbing. Glad to have finally got it done!

Enjoyable, good warm up

Nice warm up.

Happy to get all the moves on lead on the the first run. Found it mostly technical with one more powerful sequence above the second bolt. Or maybe I misread the beta. The monos through the middle and underclings up high were fun and make it an enjoyable route. Should go next sesh.

Warm up #2

Warm up #1

Day flash. Best on the wall.

Figured the far left hold was too far left so went direct over the lip which made for a powerful move. Just that move shifts the climb from 18 to 20 territory I reckon. Maybe 19. Not 18.

Should have gone on the onsight route wanders around a bit

Packs a lot in a little space. From near flash to flogged.

No idea why I thought this was a good idea, grade 23 and a slab, the two worst things about rock climbing. Could be cool if slab climbing wasn’t very uncool

Repeat

Maybe it’s just in comparison the the previous route, but this one was super fun

No redeeming features on this route. The one to the right is significantly more fun
